Karishma Tanna on pregnancy: Early mornings, music, and daily walks
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Karishma Tanna, who is expecting her first child with husband Varun Bangera, has been offering candid glimpses into her pregnancy journey — from treasured early-morning solitude to a fitness routine built around daily walks.
A Morning Ritual She Swears By
Tanna recently shared two videos on her social media stories, filmed from her verandah as she sat quietly looking outside. 'My fav time…early morning wit myself,' she captioned the first clip, describing the quiet hours before the day begins as her most cherished personal time. The second video carried a note on music: 'Music is the quickest way to my heart — it turns my mood around and brings a smile to my face instantly.'
The Baby Announcement and What It Means
The couple — Karishma Tanna and Varun Bangera, a Mumbai-based real estate businessman — began dating in 2021 and married in 2022. In April 2026, they announced their pregnancy through a collaborative post featuring maternity photoshoot pictures. The caption read: 'A little Miracle, Our greatest gift — August 2026,' signalling the baby is due this August.
Fitness Advice for Expecting Mothers
Known as a fitness enthusiast, Tanna has been vocal about staying active through pregnancy. In a video shared from the gym — where she is seen walking on a treadmill — she addressed fellow expecting mothers directly.
'Hi guys, just a small reminder to all the mamas to be out there. One thing that genuinely helps me during pregnancy is walking. Even a simple daily walk makes such a difference physically and mentally,' she said.
Tanna acknowledged the physical toll of pregnancy without sugarcoating it: 'Trust me, pregnancy is beautiful but yes, the way the body changes, tiredness, it's all real. And that's exactly why movement becomes very very important. I mean no pressure but just stay active, strong and connected to your body.'
She noted that even 20–30 minutes of daily walking can help with swelling, stiffness, mood swings, sleep, and digestion. Her message to all expecting mothers: be gentle on yourself, but keep moving.
Career at a Glance
Tanna built her reputation across television, Bollywood, and OTT. She is recognised for her roles in shows such as 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi', 'Naagin 3', and 'Qayamat Ki Raat'. On the big screen, she appeared in 'Grand Masti', director Rajkumar Hirani's 'Sanju', and 'Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari'. Her OTT work — particularly 'Hush Hush' and 'Scoop', directed by Hansal Mehta — earned her a wider, newer audience.
As her due date approaches in August 2026, Tanna's public messaging has quietly shifted from performance to wellness — a transition her followers appear to be following closely.
